Listen, good friendships are hard to come by. When you find that right type of person that laughs at the same dumb things and doesn’t judge your snort, it might feel like the whole world dissapears and it’s just you two. Almost like a universal Crop. The Crop Tool makes sure your digital hug is the perfect proportions for wherever you’re going to be posting it and also removes all the excess you don’t need. Life is too short for excess that doesn’t involve snacks or drinks.

When you open your Cropping Tool you’ll find a collection of preset proportions ready for any post anywhere. The square is a mystical, symmetrical, and totally efficient shape. It’s perfect for the grid and therefore perfect for your digital hug. When your Cropping Cursors appear you can drag them to fit you and your lovey perfectly in the center. Tap the check mark on the bottom right to save your edit.

Remember sleepovers? And makeovers? Even just getting ready for the clurb? We can’t wait to get back to all those things but in the meantime, your digital hug can bring you back to old times with Makeup. On the AirBrush app there are dozens of different & unique Makeup Filters that you can apply to any of the faces in your pic and also adjust how heavy the application is. Start off by tapping the Makeup icon on your tool panel. You’ll notice that you are prompted to choose a face to apply the Makeup Filter to. Choose the one to start with.

Filters are like a digital hug for your picture… if you think about it… Head on over to your Filter Library and find something dreamy like the Celestial Filter Pack. Apply the perfect pink haze to remind your friend of the true paradise it is to be in each other’s lives (sappy but effective).
